Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Welcome to the Rosstown Retro Pinball Arcade located in the old borough of Rosstown, or Carnegie as it is now known.

The Rosstown Retro Pinball Arcade stands for the appreciation of the artwork, reminiscing and fun of playing retro pinball. There are 15 retro Pinballs ranging from 1959 to 1991.

 

The next IFPA competition will be held on 2 separate days as follows:

Cost and Details

Cost will be $40 which will cover $20 for a t-shirt, $10 for prizes $10 for the food and soft drink. BYO beer.

T-shirts come in white or grey. ‘Winner 2018’ will be printed on the winner’s t-shirt. T-shirts will be given out after the event so the winner is assured of a good fit!

 

If you are interested please advise the following:

-The approximate time you would like to attend for qualifying

-Whether you would like to attend the BBQ

-Your t-shirt size and colour.

 

Please note that you will not be able to practice on the day before you begin qualifying, however I will open the arcade for practice on the prior Sunday 27th May from 3pm – 10pm.

 

I would also be happy to allow a small practice on the Friday night before for anyone coming from interstate.

Also note that there is a Bayside pinball comp on Thursday 31st May if you can make it up earlier.

 

To provide the full pinball arcade experience you will need to bring coins to play - they take 5c, 10c and 20c. The additional funds will go towards catering for the finals.

 

Pinball Machines included are:

1.Straight Shooter EM 1959 Gottlieb

2.Grand Slam EM 1972 Gottlieb

3.Centigrade37 EM 1977 Gottlieb

4.Last Lap SS 1978 Playmatic

Under 15 Childrens Tournament

I will also include a tournament for children that are 14 or younger as part of this. The $10 entry fee will be waived, however other costs apply to play, to attend the BBQ and t-shirt.

 

Ideally I would like the children to come early, between 8am – 11:30am

They will play the exact same format and be ranked with the adults for IFPA purposes, however there will be a separate list set up to rank just them. I would like to have a final for the top 2, ideally on the same day as the adults. We will just see how their availability is.

 

The highest ranked child will receive a Superman Cap.

The lowest ranked child will receive a Mr Burger Voucher

 

It is the first time I have tried this so let’s just see how it goes.

 

Hope to see you all there.

Flip it, Flip it good.
